wefjioi3223O··on Rendering on the Apple M1 Max Chip
By the way, Apple said their graphic card in M1 MAX has the same performance as mobile 3080 using much less power. But this was a lie. M1 MAX has only ~10 TFLOPS and 3080 has ~19 TFLOPS, so M1 MAX is almost twice slower than mobile 3080. So the whole superiority of M1 MAX is greatly overstated by fake numbers. and also don't forget - 3080 is almost a year old GPU.

M1 MAX is not a low-power CPU. It consumes the whole 30 WATTs (!!!) and has an active cooling system. H-series CPUs from Intel have a TPD of 35 - 45 WATTS and this is almost the same as M1 MAX. According to your calculation, Intel CPU should consume 150 WATTs which is completely wrong.

The new Alder Lake CPU from Intel for laptops is faster than M1 MAX:

So, nothing special about M1, especially if you consider that Adler Lake will use an older manufacturing process (7nm vs 5nm used by Apple).
